In detail:

What were the main reasons his team failed to get in Croatia?

“There are two games in this knockout matches. Therefore, there is a second match. Now, I would call this match balanced, but again we had easy mistakes again. All the details came up towards the opponents. We also easily given up and one of them cost us the goal. We also had bad decisions. We also had the opportunity several times for a good final pass, but it didn’t come. In the end, Rijeka just took a lead with this victory. We have to fight in the second match and that’s where everything is judged.

The second match will definitely be different. Just today I saw a lack of confidence, perhaps we were not completely spiritually ready to play in such an atmosphere, but it may be a wrong feeling. Beyond that, as we play in Tuba, we will achieve our goal. ”

You said in Thessaloniki that the matches with Rijeka will be different from them with Wolfsberger. How did you see the team and the atmosphere?

“Very nice atmosphere, people helped the team. Rijeka likes to play football, have the ball and create, but we too had opportunities and we didn’t finish them properly because we didn’t have a clear mind and confidence in the last decision. ”

Do you still think PAOK is a favorite for qualification?

“Rijeka is a team that plays quality football. In Thessaloniki, the atmosphere will be different, the pressure will be in Rijeka. But in such a match and in football there are no favorite, they are chatting for the world and the media. Rijeka represents a country with deep football culture. But we too will push ourselves into Tuba. But there are no favorite in football. ”

Would you like to tell us about Ivanzsch?

“He came to our team coming from a period of injury that did not allow him to do this preparation he would like. But, he works well, he learns his teammates. For our part, I don’t want to put a lot of pressure on him, but to give him time to get out of what he can. He’s an excellent kid and a good player, he just didn’t make the best preparation. Due to injuries to the team, I pushed him to get faster than he should. It will help us a lot later. “
